That's the ticket, and I think I know where to get stainless pins and sockets. Thanks.

Hood sides

I put a piece of metal on the inside of the panel that slips over the lip that comes up from the fender, it works very well.

'34 ford - Fastening the hood side panels at the bottom

Getting ramped up for a new Outlaw 34 Ford coupe build. I've got the hood (smooth sides, no handles) from Rootlieb already.... It occurred to me... I haven't got the slightest idea of how I'm going to fasten the lower edge of the hood to the car.

It's a 3 piece hood and the top will hang on Hagan hinge rails. The bottom of the side panels.....?????? I've never looked that closely at other's cars.
